Question

READ THE FOLLOWING TEXTS AND CHOOSE THE OPTION WHICH BEST
COMPLETES EACH QUESTION ACCORDING TO THEM:TEXT 01What does an occupational and environmental physician do?
As highly trained specialists, OEM physicians and other health professionals enhance the health of workers through preventive medicine, clinical care, disability
management, research, and education. OEM professionals have expertise in
determining the ability of employees to perform work; the arrangements of work,
the physical, chemical, biological, and social environments of the workplace, and
the health outcomes of environmental exposures.
They recognize that work and the environment in which it is performed can have
favorable or adverse effects upon the health of workers as well as of other populations; that the nature of work can be arranged to protect worker health; and that
health and well-being at the workplace are promoted when workers’ physical attributes or limitations are accommodated in job placement.
They are skilled at using the tools of preventive medicine ______ improve the
health of workers and their families, and they are trained in the complex Returnto-Work process, an advanced system of health monitoring that optimizes the
time in which ill or injured workers can safely return to work. The occupational and
environmental physician must communicate with and inspire confidence in people
on all levels.
Perhaps most importantly, occupational health professionals occupy a critical
position at the center of virtually all health-related transactional activities in the
workplace. They are connected to all of the other parts of this complex infrastructure—senior management, benefits and human resources, legal, worker’s compensation, government regulatory agencies, labor and unions, hospitals and public health organizations. They are a fulcrum of workplace health—understanding
the needs and challenges of each of these diverse groups. They provide a
unique bridge between the clinical/scientific medical community and the businessbased employer community.

Qconcursos · Accepted Answer

Alternativa [A] Addition. A alternativa correta é: A - Addition.

Vamos entender melhor o tema da questão. A pergunta nos pede para identificar o significado das palavras as well as no trecho “as well as of other populations” do segundo parágrafo. Esse tipo de questão avalia sua habilidade de interpretar o uso de expressões dentro de um contexto específico. Conhecimentos de vocabulário e função das palavras em Inglês são essenciais aqui.

No contexto fornecido, o termo as well as é usado para adicionar uma informação. No caso, o texto fala sobre os efeitos do trabalho e do meio ambiente na saúde dos trabalhadores e também de outras populações. Portanto, a função de as well as aqui é de adição.

Vamos justificar cada uma das alternativas para entender por que a letra A é a correta e as outras são incorretas:

A - Addition. 
As well as é uma expressão que indica adição, ou seja, adiciona uma informação à anterior. No contexto, a frase menciona os trabalhadores e adiciona que essas condições também afetam outras populações. Portanto, esta alternativa está correta.

B - Conclusion. 
Conclusão seria indicado por palavras como therefore, thus ou in conclusion. As well as não tem esse papel no texto.

C - Reason. 
Razão seria indicada por expressões como because, due to, since. As well as não está explicando uma razão, mas adicionando uma informação.

D - Opposition. 
Oposição seria indicada por palavras como but, however ou on the other hand. As well as não está opondo ideias, mas sim somando.
